The places on the two heritage lists kept under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, the National Heritage List and the Commonwealth Heritage List, each with its boundary, as the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water publishes them.

Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water releases these 2 tables as one dataset on its portal, so every table here shares the version date 2026-02-26. Each table has its own page with a format picker, a field list, a sample record and its version history.

Also called: Australian national heritage places map, CHL boundaries shapefile GeoJSON, Commonwealth Heritage List spatial database, Commonwealth heritage places map, Heritage places on Commonwealth land, NHL boundaries shapefile GeoJSON, National Heritage List spatial database, National heritage listed places by state.
